First Starship orbital flight expected in early 2022
SpaceX will fly the first orbital test of its massive Starship rocket early next year and expects a dozen or more launches in 2022, founder Elon Musk said.
The chance of success on the first flight into Earth orbit is relatively low, Musk said Wednesday at a virtual session with members of the National Academy of Sciences. The company will launch Starship in January or February and sees multiple orbital test flights next year.
“It’s the biggest rocket ever designed and we’re close to our initial orbital launch,” Musk said.
